Crossing Raft was meditating on a reef at the edge of the island. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, he opened his eyes and looked up.>The sky suddenly changed, with fierce winds raging, but t...He concealed his form and searched for a long time in the valley. He found a place with a wide view but enough concealment, and he raised the Yan Luo banner.

As his spiritual power poured in, the Yan Luo Banner fluttered in the windless void. The demonic eyes on it came to life again, hovering on the banner's surface. They blinked a few times, carrying a sinister smile as they swept over Qin Sang. A black mist emanated from them, shrouding Qin Sang's figure.

Finally, the demon eye widened, staring directly at the easternmost part of the starry sky. Within its pupil was a swirling chaos, with strange and divine light flickering within.

>

In less than an hour, Qin Sang's face turned pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he had been drained of the last bit of his spiritual power. He retracted the Demon Eye into his body and returned to his cave dwelling, holding a Soul Pill in his hand, he entered meditation to cultivate.

One night, Qin Sang twice activated his magical eye. It continuously stared towards the east, motionless, as if trying to see through the entire defensive formation of Huanyang Valley. This was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Qin Sang secretly nodded, at least for this period of time she was safe.

Now he could also guess that the Quiyin Sect was very likely to launch a large-scale attack on Yuanguangmen.

The magic eye was not merely peering into the changes of the Huoyang Valley formation, its true purpose was to observe the changes in the protective grand formation of Yuanguangmen near Huoyang Valley.

Qin Sang didn't know, nor did he care, why the two major sects had become enemies.

The Quiyin Sect had three Nascent Soul cultivators, while the Yuanzhao Gate only had two. Their only reliance was the sect-protecting grand formation set up by the two Primordial Infant ancestors invited by the ancestor of the Yuanzhao Gate, as legend has it.

Once the protective formation of Yuanzhao Gate loses its power, it will inevitably be overthrown by the Kuiyin Sect.

If that were truly the case, Qin Sang would feel safer.

A war between two sects would inevitably erupt between masters at the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages. These Qi Refinement stage cultivators could only follow the tide.

After the chaos subsides, no one will pay attention to them. As long as they don't run headlong into the battlefield, escaping should be easy enough.

And he held the identities of two sect disciples, able to adapt and maneuver with great flexibility.

Twelve days later.

Late at night, in the cave dwelling.

Qin Sang sat cross-legged on a cushion of water reed and bamboo, slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a flash of light in them, his face filled with joy. Then, he yawned and lay down on the ground in his clothes, snoring loudly.

Attending to the herb garden, manipulating magical eyes, refining Qi gathering pills' power, for twelve days straight without a break. Although cultivators could use meditation instead of sleep, there was still fatigue deep within him.

Now that he has finally refined the medicinal power of the Gathering Qi Pill, Qin Sang's realm naturally rose to the late stage of the sixth level. He naturally needs to take a good rest.

Having slept soundly without dreams, Qin Sang woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated. He found the sun already high in the sky outside. He hurriedly left his cave dwelling and continued with his busy day.

After refining the Ju Qi Pill, Qin Sang took out the stone milk.

Yang Yu Zang had already refined most of the impurities in the stone milk. Qin Sang didn't have to put in much effort and obtained five drops of pure stone milk. After swallowing it and refining it, he broke through to the seventh layer as if it were water flowing naturally.

Over the past few days, Qin Sang sensed that the restrictions at the entrance of the valley had been triggered. After opening it, he saw Meng Ruhui standing with another equally aged senior brother at the entrance. The two were chatting and laughing, clearly very familiar with each other.

Qin Sang adjusted his attire, a broad smile plastered across his face as he walked towards them.

When Meng Ruhui saw Qin Sang, the smile on his face faded a few degrees. He pointed at Qin Sang and introduced him to the two, “Senior Brother Jiang, now that Huanyang Valley Herb Garden is taken care of by this junior brother Qin Sang. This is Senior Brother Jiang, who works in Changsheng Hall. He is very knowledgeable about alchemy and is responsible for collecting spiritual herbs, Junior Brother Qin, take us to the herb garden…” Eh, Junior Brother Qin, you have broken through to the seventh level”

Meng Ruhuai was astonished. He clearly remembered that a month ago when Qin Sang first entered the valley, his spiritual power fluctuations were very weak, just recently breaking through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining period.

Just now when Qin Sang's weapon flew out, he felt something was amiss. At a glance, he realized that his cultivation had directly jumped to a higher realm.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Qin Sang greets Senior Brother Meng and Senior Brother Jiang."

Qin Sang led the way, his tone calm as he said, "It was a stroke of luck. When I participated in the Ascension Conference, I discovered an underground demon's nest in the Bagua Forbidden Zone and found dozens of drops of century-old stone milk inside. Unexpectedly, after taking it, I broke through."

Jiang, Shixiong listened, his eyes gleaming with envy, and said, "Hundred-year Stone Milk is a divine elixir, with long-lasting effects. After taking it, the medicinal power nourishes the meridians. Within a year or two, one will reap the benefits. I never expected that Qin, Shijie would have such good fortune. Perhaps in a few years, Qin, Shijie's cultivation level could surpass all of us."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang's heart moved. No wonder after his breakthrough, he felt that the speed of his cultivation progress was a few points faster than before. He thought it was due to the improvement in his realm, so the speed at which he absorbed spiritual power had increased. Unexpectedly, it was the lingering effect of the stone milk from a hundred years ago.

Qin Sang also understood that what Senior Brother Jiang said afterwards was just politeness. They were both at the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, unable to break through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment period, stuck there. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be good if he could catch up in a decade or so.

At once, Qin Sang began to ask Jiang senior brother for advice.

Meng Ruhuai said that this Brother Jiang was very knowledgeable about alchemy, and it was not an exaggeration. After just a few words of guidance from him, Qin Sang understood the properties of the Bai Nian Shi Ru (Hundred Years Stone Milk) and knew how to make full use of its effects without wasting its potency.

"I never expected the Gossip Forbidden Zone to have a hundred-year old stone milk. It's time to ask the sect leader to go and collect some, but this kind of elixir is rare..."

Jiang, senior brother, asked for clarification and lamented, “It’s a pity that Qin, junior brother, was too impetuous and wasted a lot of medicinal power by taking it directly. With so many stones of milk, if they were taken to Changsheng Hall to be refined into pills, it might be able to help Qin, junior brother, reach the late stage of the seventh layer.”

Qin Sang smiled calmly, who knew if there would still be his share of the century-old stone milk after it was taken out

Moreover, his meager supply of spirit stones wouldn't even be enough to hire someone to refine them. He was already content with the results he had achieved.

The two walked and talked ahead, while Meng Ruhuai trailed behind in silence. He gazed at Qin Sang's back, thinking about his age, and a twinge of sourness filled his heart. A flicker of jealousy crossed his eyes, but he shook his head and returned to normal.

When they arrived at the apothecary garden, Jiang Senior Brother, who had been excitedly pointing things out to Qin Sang, suddenly fell silent and his expression darkened.

Qin Sang smiled apologetically on the side.

Cultivation is the foundation for establishing oneself. He devoted himself to cultivation and had no energy left to tend to the medicine garden. Sometimes he would just scatter some Nine Spirit Sand and leave it at that. The medicinal herbs in the garden, lacking care, were not completely neglected, but they were still far from meeting the requirements of Changsheng Hall.

Meng Ruhui frowned and thought for a moment before speaking, "Brother Jiang, Brother Qin just took over Huanyang Valley, so he might not be familiar yet. Besides, the affairs of Huanyang Valley are indeed more burdensome than elsewhere. Perhaps we should give him some more time."

Meng Ruhuai was surprisingly willing to help ease the situation. Qin Sang was very surprised and bowed to him in gratitude.
